Chapter 1 As punishment , I was made to clean the entire villa naked . It wasn't until then that my cold , military commander husband , Nathaniel Ford , withdrew his divorce petition . And it was tonight that I stumbled upon a locked room , which turned out to be filled with things I had lost over the years . From the small - my childhood milk teeth - to the large items , like the underwear I had worn . Everything was carefully preserved , as if they were rare treasures . I couldn't imagine it . The first love my husband had always longed for turned out to be me . After all , in the three years we had been married , he had proposed divorce eight times . Every single time , I had begged him to change his mind before he agreed to withdraw his application . People in the military compound laughed at me , calling me the " woman with eight divorce petitions , " saying I was just his faithful pet . I stayed by his side only because of my shameless persistence . It wasn't until tonight that I realized I had always been part of his long - term plan . But after ten years of living together , he had never truly cherished me . He only saw me as someone who was isolated and helpless , fitting the image of his so - called first love . He planned to wait until the world abandoned me before swooping in as my savior . The next day , because I had spoken to someone else for a few minutes , Nathaniel Ford once again became furious and brought up divorce . The last time , it was simply because I had forgotten to greet him at the door when he came home . The man before me still looked the same as ever , but now , he felt like a complete stranger . This time , I wouldn't let him control me with his so - called love anymore . After signing the divorce papers , Nathaniel Ford immediately instructed his servants to throw all my belongings out . He didn't even spare me a single word , turning decisively and walking downstairs . By the time I made it down , a loud barking filled the air , and a few ' Tibetan mastiffs rushed toward me , knocking me to the ground . Ignoring the bloodstains on my scraped knees , my breathing grew erratic as the allergic reaction began to close up my throat . When the soldiers saw the horrifying rash on my face , their smiles instantly vanished , and they panicked , " Commander Ford , we didn't know Mrs. Ford was allergic to dog hair . We only wanted to scare her ; we didn't mean to hurt her . " But someone muttered , " Why are you calling her ' Mrs. Ford ' ? Commander Ford just threw all her things out ; stop talking nonsense . " I struggled to move toward my phone , which had been knocked out of reach , desperate to call for help . But hearing those words , Nathaniel Ford froze in his steps , no longer caring about me . Someone , unsure of what to make of his thoughts , asked boldly , " Commander Ford , the performance recognition gala for Jessica Sinclair is about to start . Should we take her to the hospital first or to the gala ? " After a long while , Nathaniel Ford stepped over my body , walking away without sparing me a single glance . My heart felt like it had been gripped by an iron fist , and the dull ache spread throughout my body . The entire living room was empty , and in the final moments of consciousness , I mustered the strength I had left to dial the emergency number . A single tear rolled down my cheek , a silent testament to just how wretched I was at that moment .

I , however , remained calm as I accepted the conditions he had set . After all , I was only here to retrieve the things my mother had left me , and from now on , I would no longer consider this place my home .
